Answer: $\textsf{-3/10}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given: $\textsf{Points (-4, 5) and (6, 2)}$

Find: $\textsf{Slope of the line that goes between the points}$

Solution: In order to determine the slope of a line we need to follow the slope formula to determine it. Just plug in the values and simplify.

<u>Plug in the values</u>

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{2 - 5}{6 - (-4)}$

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

$m = \frac{-3}{6 + 4}$

$m = -\frac{3}{10}$

Using those two points we were able to determine that the slope of the line that goes through the points is -3/10.

Joe has a bag of marbles. There are 2 purple, 1 red, and 3 green marbles in the bag. Joe selects a marble, does not replace it b

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 marbles in the bag. 3 out of 6 are green.

3/6 = 1/2

So, he has a 1/2 of picking a green marble.

After getting a green marble, Joe doesn’t replace it meaning there are now only 5 marbles in the bag.

Since there’s one red marble in the bag the chance of trying one is 1/5.

Now to find the chance or drawing a green and red marble you need to do the equation:

1/2 x 1/5

This equals 1/10.

The probability is 1/10

Please help me out :( algebra II

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so it's a little hard to tell if they mean

$(-x)^{2}$ or $-1 * x^{2}$

for for answer D but i'll guess that they mean the latter.... also for B... it's often said... incorrectly that you can't take the square of a negative number.. but that's not exactly true. b/c $\sqrt{-1}$ = i in the imaginary number world. soooo that said... I think they are assuming that you don't know you could do that.. even thou.. now you do :D but.. B looks like the best choice

Hello, I need help with this question.

ella [17]

Answer:

The answer would be 22/12 or 1 and 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2+2/3+3/4

First get common denominators so you have a denominator of 12 so 6/12+8/12+9/12

Add those together and you get 23/12 but you have to subtract one because that's what the problem says so you get 22/12
